Special-offer Mini tier · Seedance 2.0 Mini Budget
The official Mini special-offer route — assets reviewed for assetId, zero face distortion, 720P output.
Mini Budget keeps the Mini tier's full multimodal capability — text-to-video, image-to-video (first/last frame) and reference-to-video — but bills at the special price and outputs 720P. Media is reviewed before submission, so real-person content passes 100% with no facial distortion. Pick it for drafts, batch production and the most cost-sensitive workloads.

Same Mini-tier cost profile: Mini Budget trades list price for special-offer 720P delivery, Mini keeps the 480P draft tier and more channel redundancy.

Mini Budget is not a cut-down tier — it is the Mini tier's special-price delivery route at 720P.
Public URLs are reviewed into assetId references before submission; real-person content passes 100% with no facial distortion — production-safe for commercial use.
The special-offer tier outputs 720P — sharp enough for most feed, ad and short-drama delivery. Need 480P drafts or 1080P masters? Use Mini or Standard.
Text-to-video, image-to-video (first/last frame) and multimodal reference-to-video match the Mini tier, with the same reference budgets.
Official special-offer pricing, charged on successful tasks only — the lowest-cost entry point into the Seedance 2.0 family.
Use Mini Budget to validate composition, timing and reference roles cheaply.
Switch to seedance-2.0-fast-lite-* or seedance-2.0-lite-* and render the final cut at 720P.
Need 1080P+ masters or stability-critical pipelines? Escalate to the Standard tier.
Only the model field changes — auth, billing and observability carry over.

}Mini Budget is the official Mini-tier special-offer route: identical task capability and reference mechanism as Mini, but billed at the special price, with 720P output. Assets are reviewed into assetId references, and real-person content passes with zero distortion.
No. The Mini Budget special-offer tier outputs 720P only. For 480P drafts use the Mini tier; for 1080P or higher, use the Standard tier.
Mini Budget runs on the full-capability pipeline: media URLs are reviewed into assetId references before the task is submitted, so real-person content passes 100% with no facial distortion. Plain public URLs just work — the pipeline handles the review for you.
When unit cost matters most: draft iteration, massive batch production, and 720P delivery with real people on camera. Use Mini Budget for drafts, and Fast Budget / the standard Budget tier for final delivery.
Integrate once on APIPod — switching between Mini Budget and Mini is one model field: special price, full capability, 720P output.
